The Hawks place a small ad in Yachting World magazine, asking $435,000 for the meticulously maintained Well Deserved. "For Tom and Jackie the savings of that fee was going to be significant with what they were going to have left, so they advertised in boating magazines," said Carter Ford. Instead of paying a hefty commission to a boat broker, they were going to sell the yacht themselves. Tom and Jackie put their beloved Well Deserved up for sale. "They wanted to get back to Arizona and spend time with this little boy," said Rother. "They had a new grandbaby in Arizona," said author Caitlin Rother.Ĭrime writer Caitlin Rother says Tom and Jackie decided to embark on a new journey. Little did Tom and Jackie know they would soon be headed into troubled waters and a dangerous transition they never saw coming.Īfter two years of endless vacations, Tom and Jackie's dream is suddenly interrupted in the most wonderful way. The Hawks cruised the most exotic ports of call from California to the Mexican Riviera. "They lived on the boat better than most people can live in a house," said Ford. Weightman and Ford moored their boats near the Hawks in the same upscale harbor in ritzy Newport Beach, California. "They personally were precious people to talk with," said friend Judy Weightman. And when they retired, they bought their dream boat, the Well Deserved, a 55-foot yacht. The loving couple had worked hard their entire lives, Tom as a probation officer and Jackie as a stepmom to Tom's two sons. "The best example one could ever hope for of how couples should treat each other," said Carter Ford, a friend of the Hawks.
